Description The large-leaved willow is a 2 to 6 meter high shrub or tree with a rounded crown. The branches are gray-green, dark brown or red-brown and show indistinct stripes. The bark of young thin twigs is downy hairy and later becomes more or less bare. The leaves are divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. The petiole is about 1 inch long. The simple leaf blade is 4 to 18 centimeters long and 3 to 5 centimeters wide obovate to obovate-lanceolate, pointed and gradually narrowed towards the base. The leaf margin is notched or serrated. The upper side of the leaf is deep green, wrinkled and bare except for the leaf veins, the underside of the leaf is scattered hairy with strongly protruding leaf veins.

Vill
Vill is a term used in English history to describe the basic rural land unit, roughly comparable to that of a parish, manor, village or tithing. Medieval developments The vill was the smallest territorial and administrative unit—a geographical subdivision of the hundred and county—in Anglo-Saxon England. It served both a policing function through the tithing, and the economic function of organising common projects through the village moot. The term is the Anglicized form of the word , used in Latin documents to translate the Anglo-Saxon . The vill remained the basic rural unit after the Norman conquest—land units in the ''Domesday Book'' are frequently referred to as vills—and into the late medieval era. Whereas the manor was a unit of landholding, the vill was a territorial one—most vills did ''not'' tally physically with manor boundaries—and a public part of the royal administration. The vill had judicial and policing functions, including frankpledge, as well as resp ...

The Plant Book, Cambridge University Press #2: Cambridge. of typically deciduous trees and shrubs, found primarily on moist soils in cold and temperate regions. Most species are known as willow, but some narrow-leaved shrub species are called osier, and some broader-leaved species are referred to as sallow (from Old English ''sealh'', related to the Latin word ''salix'', willow). Some willows (particularly arctic and alpine species) are low-growing or creeping shrubs; for example, the dwarf willow (''Salix herbacea'') rarely exceeds in height, though it spreads widely across the ground.

The roots are remarkable for their toughness, size, and tenacity to live ...
